Ludicrous Gridfinity Base Plate with Lock

Introducing the Ludicrous Gridfinity Base Plate, meticulously designed for those seeking optimal efficiency in their 3D printing projects. Drawing inspiration from existing designs like the Grdfinity Parametric Baseplate and the Gridfinity Ultralight Base, this base plate offers significant improvements in both material usage and print time. For V1 see folder.

Ludicrous Gridfinity Base Plate V2, an evolution of our original design, now featuring an innovative locking mechanism for enhanced stability and modularity.

Allow the print and build plate to cool to room temperature before removal. This practice minimizes the risk of deformation and eases the removal process.

Key Features:

Innovative Locking Mechanism:
V2 introduces a built-in locking system that securely connects multiple base plates, enhancing stability in the XY axis. This feature ensures a robust and cohesive setup, ideal for dynamic environments where movement or vibration is a concern.

Exceptional Filament Efficiency:
V2 maintains a lightweight design at 7.33 grams for a 4x4 grid, achieving a 68.5% reduction in filament usage compared to standard designs.

Gridfinity Base Comparison (4x4)

Rapid Print Times:
V1 achieved a 4x4 grid print in just 39 minutes and 51 seconds, making it one of the fastest options available.

V2 print a 4x4 grid in 48 minutes and 41 seconds. While slightly longer than V1 due to the added locking mechanism, this time investment results in a significantly sturdier configuration.

Optimized Design:
Remodeled entirely in SketchUp, balancing durability with minimal material usage. Designed with modular components (walls, corners, ribs, bottom) to facilitate easy modifications and adaptability in various software platforms.

Compatibility:
Fully compatible with the Gridfinity system, ensuring seamless integration with existing components.
